“It’s happening right after the holidays, so a lot of people haven’t even heard about it. “

LMFAO... Nobody was supposed to hear about it....The Rats themselves scheduled this whole thing so they could quietly and seamlessly fill the seat.
Sounds like a butterfly ballot issue to me.I can’t wait to hear the cries of “a lot of people were disenfranchised” because of the scheduling.

With this special election, the Democrats are getting some bad Karma thrown their way.

Think about the fact that they changed the law in Mass. regarding filling Senate vacancies. They changed it so that Mitt Romney couldn’t appoint a Republican replacement for John Kerry if Kerry had been elected president in ‘04. Then this year, with Kennedy’s death, they decided that a governor should appoint a replacement until the special election is held. But now, that special election could end up sending a Republican to the Senate.

To make a long story short, if the Democrats had not changed the Senate vacancy law in the first place, they wouldn’t be in this predicament today. In that case, the governor could simply have appointed the replacement to serve until the next scheduled election. Instead, the Dems. are stuck with this special election, which came about because they had to tinker with the established law on filling a Senate vacancy.

And we’re loving every minute of watching Dems. squirm over this.

Riiight! And the designer of the butterfly ballot was a Dhimmi also.

Leftism is a dangerous ideology - we are fortunate that so many of its advocates are utterly brainless.
